Fracture of the penis is an uncommon injury that results from trauma to the erect penis, usually during sexual intercourse. In some cases, the urethra is injured as well. To determine the outcome of immediate surgical management, we reviewed the cases of 8 patients with fracture of the penis who presented to the Cleveland Clinic from 1992 to 1998. ⋯ Immediate surgical repair offers complete recovery for patients with penile fracture in most cases, even in the presence of urethral injury. We present our recommendations for treatment of this condition.
